Mr: Secretary Peel—Bill to regulate 'the impannelling of Juries in Counties of Cities. 2. Mr. Edmond Wodehonse—Bill to amend Gaol Regulation Act. The Navy of England is a favourite of the nation. It has peculiar claims on the attention of the ,public, and on the liberality of Parlia ment. It is far this reason we suppose that the Navy Estimates have been for the most part al lowed to pass quietly through the House of Com mons, and diffuse expenditure in this branch of the public service more lightly regarded than in any other. But, nevertheless, they met with some opposition last night in bringing up the Report of the Committee of Supply ; and although we rank ourselves amongst the most strenuous supporters of the Wooden Walls of Old England, we confess we feel, upon the w hole, rather glad of it. It is an earnest wish that Parliament will sift to the bottom the Estimates of every other branch 6f the Public mice, nod we trust the Army Estimates will not escap e the scrutiny and opposition of the lovers of public economy in the House of Commons. At a time like the present, when the nation is labouring under the most severe pressure, and when the administration neglecting every other opportunity have ill advisedly selected this as a fit and proper Season to commence a return to me tank - currency, it behoves the trustees of the Public Purse to look to their charge, and see that its contents are not too speedily dissipat ed in vain extravagance or useless establishments. Every man at all alive to the state of the Coun try, must see that the current quarter's revenue swill prove in all probability alarmingly dificient, ,and it is, therefore, absolutely essential that our expenditure should be diminished, so as to balance the difference as nearly as may be. A reduction of taxes, under these aspects, appears to us as beyond hope, and greatly although pleasantly surprised shall we be if the CHANCELLOa of the ER shall, on Monday next, in opening the Budget, hold out a prospect of remission of any part of the public burdens. And here the dead weight comes again. Go whore we will, do ‘llipt we will, we still meet it; it enters into every transaction however trivial, and affects every contract, from the purchase of a ships cargo to the buying of an ounce of tea. The Austrian Observer to the 10th ofFebruray, received this morning, brings advices from Corfu to the , Bth of January, which carry direct con. tradiction to the intelligence we !Rely gave from the rvierea, aii 0.1:1 1 .0.F from the French Papers. These accounts continue to be favourable to the Ottoman Porte, but their silence as to Misso• longhl must lead us to imagine it still holds out. It wants but this information to complete the embarrassment under which any negocietion be. tween Turkey and Russig on the affairs of the Greeks must be undertaken. The following are extracts : CORFU, JAN. 8. The rainy weather, which has prevailed for some weeks, is a great impediment to the operations of Ibrahim Pectin and the Seraskier Redachid against Illissolonghi. They are both still before that place, and seriously engaged in making the neces, nary preparations for another attack. The English ship the Chanticleer arrived here to-day from Zante and the vicinity of .111issolonghi. .A report was imme diately spread that at the beginning of this month about 40 sail of Greek ships had again appeared near Missolonglii, whiclf had induced the Captain Pacha to retire into the Gulf of Le panto. The truth, however, is, that the English sloop, which was said to have brought; this news, having attempted to ap proach Missolonghi, was hindered by the Turkish fleet which was near it, so that the above story falls to the ground of itself. But we have learnt, by the Veloce brig, that 10 Greek vessels were cruising on the 4th near Zante. Ibrahim Pacha being at so great a distance from Tripolizza, the Greek Government, it is said, resolved to send a corps against that town. The famous Ex-General Rossirol was to Command this corps, the strength of whicht is stated at 4000 men ; but he having died suddenly, the command devolved on an Englishman. Scarcely had the news of this expedition, which is far from being confirn - asl, reached this place, when, notwithstanding its evident improbability,' the taking of Tri polizza was generally announced among the Greeks residing there. The last accounts from Jassy, dated 27th January, are very satisfactory respecting the sanitary state of the two principali ties. The severe cold which has long prevailed has produced the happiest effect in this respect is, that there is no new case of plague at Jassy, and that none of the individuals who were in the lazzaretto of Ulintsa has been ill. ' The accounts from Fochschan and 0 - allstz are equally. satis factory in this respect. The contagion haA entitely ceased at these two places as well as at Braila. VIEV:s'A, PER. 9.-51etalliques, 90 5.16; Bank Shares, 1134 I.6.—(Austrian Ob.verver, Feb. 10.) The Frankfort Papers to the 15th February, received this day, furnish "only _the following extracts : COLOGNE, FEU. 12. M. Von Ingers lichen; Minister of State and First President, has published a Decree, the object of which is to prevent per sons from evading the duty of serving in the army, under the pretext of devoting themselves to the Church, without passing any vocation and qualification for that profession ; he has there fore concerted with the Archbishops and Bishops that no persons shall be exempted from military service on the pica of intend ing themselves for the Church, unless they prove to the eccle siastical authorities that they r ea ll y arc qualified for that im portant professions. FRANKFORT, FEB. 14.

NORTHUMBERLAND ELECTION.. NEWCASTLE•UPON•TYNE, FED. 20.—1 t is im possible. to :describe the intensity of the Eke, tion bustle this day. A Middlesex contest is perhaps the nearest parallel. At an early hoUr th:s morning immense, convoys of carriages, be sides equestrians, occupied the high road to Aln wiCk. In point of splendour and dash, Mr. LIDDELL'S equipages far outshone those of his opponent ; the rich silken flags, and gay cockades (scarlet and white) of the former, putting con siderably iu the back ground the sombre me lange of light and dark blue, which are the dis tinguishing dolours of the latter Gentleman. As has been all along intimated in THE SUN, public opinion still runs in favour of the honourable Heir of Ravensworth. In confirmation of this, innumerable bets have been made, TWO to ONE, that he is the sitting Member roe Northumber land.--The following appears in the Tgne Mer cury this evening " Various contradictory reports being in circulation as to the part which Dlr. Beaumont intends to take at the ensuing election, we are aut h orised to state that Mr. Beaumont's vote and interest will be given to Mr. LIDDELL upon the present occa. sion, but that he will most rigidly adhere to his determination, already expressed, to avoid a coalition with any candidate what. ever at the general election for the county." The same Paper says— Ain BELL having shewn the cloven foot of illiberality on the Catholic Question, the general feeling is against him. Be came forward, professing to act upon the principles of the late Mt. Brandling ; and yet, upon one of the most important poll tical rittestions of the day, we and him, when pressed for de claration of his sentiments, diametrically opposed to what had uniformly been the opinion of Mr. Branding, viz. that it was expedient to place our Catholic fellow subjects upon a footing of equality with ourselves. N. tut great dissimulation, therefore, Mr. BELL stands broadly charged. Thus, under existing circumstances, Mr. LIDDELL is clearly entitled to the support of every intelligent and independent freeholder of the co." Mr. BEAUMONT, the actual Member for North- - umberland, arrived here last night. lie set off, about four this afternoon, for Alnwick, in a ch a i se and four, amid the loud cheers of the a.s4embled multitude. As is intimated in the local Journal I have quoted this evening, he will give a decided support to the HEIR of RAVENSWOItTII at the present Election. I cannot conclude without adding, that the friends of the lion. Mr. LIDDELL feel most confi dent of success. We are sorry to announce, that his MAJESTY is confined at the Royal Lodge, Windsor, by an extremely severe fit of the gout. It is much to be regretted that Lord GR VILLE'S health, or retirement from public life, should prevent his taking a part in the present important discussion in Parliament, on which his truly Statesmanlike mind would throw the most valuable light. Adiniral - OTwAY is appointed Commander-i n - Chief on the South American station, in the room of Admi ra l Si r G EORGE E YRE , w hose period o f service is expired. Mr. WALLACE, the Master of the Mint, we ure happy to state, is considerably recovered from his late severe indisposition. The rem a i ns o f L. A. GoLnscristinT passed Finsbury -squa re yesterday at twelve o'clock, for the place of interment. As usual with the per sons of his nation, the burial takes place in forty eight hours after death. REMAIMAIILE DA;.---This day is, remarkable as the anniversary of the death of Atterbury, Bishop of Rochester, in exile, 1731 ; of the French landing ,In Pembrokeshire, 1797 ; and the death of James Barry, painter, 1806. THE FUNDS. Consols—Westerday, closed - • * 781 After the Close 78} This morning opened There has been a re-actionin.Consols, as must have been expected, under the continued, and still, increasing, pressure of commercial 'and financial embarrassment. This morning's post announces the stoppage of three Country Banks, whicH with the rumoured difficulties of a London House of consequence, knocked down Con sols from 781, .the opening price, to 77f to which they had descended, by twelve o'clock. Money Stock has also given way. The quo tation of Consols at one o'clock is 77 1 It were difficult to say where pecuniary em barrassment is most heavily felt. In Town discounts, generally speaking, are imprac ticable—in the Country confidence is complete ly' suspended. A t Birmingham the Bankers pay their drafts in sovereigns—declining any further issue of small notes, from the rapidity with which any such issue is pre sented at the counter. The usual course of transactions between the country banker and his customers—merchants, manufactures, and traders, is altogether annihilated. Discounts are so gene rally declined, that the hill even of a banker can not be melted at a neighbouring bank. All being thus thrown on their individual resources, when those fail, as must be the. result with very many, a crisis of difficulty will arr ive, greatly surpass ing what has yet been felt. Those only who are conversant with the course of business in manu facturing districts, can appreciate the embarrass ment occasioned by the suspension of that confi dence on which credit is supported. Heretofore, the manufacturer paid in the Bills received for Goods to his Banker—from whom he received notes, with which the labour of the week was paid. But when that chance of supply is stopped, by his declining to issue notes in the usual course, where is the source from which the artisan and labourer can be paid ?—whether the circulating medium be Bank of England notes, or gold, it is alike be yond his power to procure it for any thing but' Bankers' paper. Bills, however respectable and solid, drawn by individuals on London houses, or correspondents, not hankers, are for the most part little better than waste paper, until they arrive at maturity. It is, in fact, matter of surprise that, under such accumulated, trying difficulties, the manufacturers have been able to make so firm a stand. Gold, which now circulates where, till within the last few weeks, it was unknown, is be coming a decided favourite with the people. The manufacturing population already spew a preference so decided for sovereigns, that they will not touch paper, if one is to be had—and when paid in notes, &bey, are instantly exchanged for gold if the Bank happens to be within reach. Such are the facts stated in letters from varioes manufacturing districts. A general opinion is expressed, that Bank of England one and two pound notes will have no permanent circulation in the country—but find their way in weekly parcels to the Cashiers of the Bank. A Deputation of Merchants went up this morning from the City fur the • purpose of laying before the GIZA NCEI.I,O IL of the Ex- CUEQUER, a statement of the alarming increase of pecuniary embarrasmeta, which is notoriously extending to quarters, whose solidity of resource was believed to he beyond the reach or any possible difficulty—but which, in several in stances, are apprehended to he now in danger.

FRENCH PAPERS: (From Me Etoile, dated Monday, Feb. 20.) TR/ESTE, FEE. 7. —At length we receive news direct from Corfu, which come down to the 25th of January. They con. tain reports of the taking of Tripoliar.% by Colocotroni, and of the death of Peneral Itossarol in that expedition. They add that Ibrahim, after the check experienced before Al issolonghi, has returned from Patras to Navarino. Colecotroni, after the occupation of Tripelima, has turned towards Modon, in order, if possible, to make himself master of-the place. - Itlissolonghi is entirely free on the sea side. PARIS, JAN. 19.—0 n the 11th January, Sir F. Adam, Go vernor of the lonian Islands, embarked with his whole Staff; in the steam-boat which bears his name, to visit the islasda of the South. He returned to Corfu on the 17th. It seems that the object of this short voyage is to give the Islanders confi dence in the new means of communication which he has just procured for them. The presence of Commodore Hamilton has revived . the cou rage of the Greeks. Their fleets are at sea; the Moreotes have taken arms, and their affairs seem to take another turn. (From the Pilotc of Sunday, Feb. 190 (Private Letter.) MAYENCE, FEB. 11.—The German Journals are subject to the censorship, and therefore obliged to be silent with re. spect to the North and other countries. The Censors them selves are under the surveillance of the German Diet, as well as of the Commission of Mayence, and every thing is set to work to dispel every suspicion of change relative to: the main tenance of the existing system. New confidential instructions have been sent in a confidential form to all the German Censors. They aro enjoined to restrict the journalists to the insertion of whit is to be found in the Gazelle of St. Petersburgh, or the official articles published by the Ministers at the different Courts of Europe. The only ex ception made is the news from Greece, published by the Paris Journals, on condition however that the articles of the Afnatrian Observer shall also be inserted. As it is impossible to stop the mouths of every body, and per sons daily come over the frontiers of Russia and Poland, we have learnt by the way that artillery has left Olmutz, and has passed by way of Jareslaw to Brody. It was presumed that it would stop at Lemberg, where troops, are assembled destined for Malitach. It was also known that other troops drawn from the garrison of lilausenburg and Carlsberg are proceeding to wards the frontiers of Moldavia and Wallachia. It is affirmed that the object of the Marquis Ribeaupierre's mission to Vienna is to give explanations regarding the arrest of Prince Wabeskoi, in the Hotel of the Austrian Ainhasaador at St. Petersburgii. The extraordinary delays which the mission of Lord Strang ford has experienced are 'said to proceed from the necessity in which his Lordship was placed of asking fresh instructions from his Court, and it is thought that he received them while he was in the lonian Islands. The voyage of this diplomatist is in fact attended with so many unforeseen delays that it rc sembles that of a naturalist rather than of a political agent. The re-appearance of the Duke of IVellington in the diplo. matic theatre of Europe has excited the most lively sensation in Germany: In the suite of this great person are men of the rarest merit, who have all filled important missions. It is af firmed here that the Duke will not content himself with dilatory or evasive answers, and that he expects from Russian Cabinet a final decision, which shall put an end to all uncertainty re specting the probability of hostilities with the Porte. it is even thought that he has in his instructions a new plan for the partition'of European Turkey, In case he should find it impossible to make an arrangement with the Divan. Others again arc of opinion that the English Anibassadors-wfll proyose, as the invariable basis of this negotiation, the existence of the Turkish Empire for ever (a toot jonaais) and the separation of Greece as an independent State, and to establish on this basis new system of the balance of power in Europe. At all events it is certain thatit is to prevent war that England has employed the ta lents of these celebrated diplomatists to insure its success; itavails itselfof the great financial crisis, which hinders the execution of anyhostile project,even if Russia shOuld have conceived the idea. Nevertheless the recal of General Yermaloff to St. Petershuigh excites fears for the continuance of peace ; this officer, who possesses the greatest military talents, has been always a de. dared enemy of the Cabinetof St. James's, and the precautions of that Cabinet continue to give occasion to alarming reports.

Tilt T frE ATM Datt - r-LANE.—After the popular Opera or Malvina, .a new Farce was last night produced, under the title of (‘ Alin Brown," the plot of which is as follows: ",Mr. John Brown i s t h e nom i nee of an annuity granted. by Mr. Project MS), a speculator in " 6 "airy nothings,' and. assigned to M rs. Foresight ( rs.H r. ow E)whonot finding pay ment over punctual, advertises, to ascertain if Mr. Brow n is living, which advertisement brings up John Brown (HARLEY), a white:mashing and 'whitewashed plaitterer, in the flattering idea of hearing " something ,to his advantage," who is met by Mrs. Foresight, and very graciously invited to follow her to breakfast; but he enters by mistake the house of Old Pro ject( who, by the bye, is next door t - • :ghbour to Mrs. Foresight), and is kindly recommended by hint to th e overseers hi p o f h i s powder-mill, but by its explosion is unexpectedly returned to his original invitation. The true Mr. Brown (WALLACE) is very partial to Shakapeare, and extremely averse to two Gen.. denten with fiery facet (fieri facias), and .arrieng'other engage ments has contracted one with Miss Fanny (Mrs. YATES), the daughter of Old Project, a Lady of extreme susceptibility, and with a fortune dependent upon her father's consent in writing to her marriage, which is obtaiued by Mr. Brown, Gent., in the disguise of one Mr. Bubble, a Projector of Joint Stock Com panlea." _ _ This plot, though boasting little of novelty, possesses a sufficient degree of bustle to afford tolerable scope for the chaste and ever winning drolleries of HAIMEY, who supports the scene with great effect. ' There is however a redundancy of puns and allusions, some of which might be omitted with advantage to the piece. Upon the whole, the Farce was highly successful, and as it is amusing arid well acted, it is likely to have 11 run. NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICAN' SUBSCRIPTION ROOM,fin. 22.

CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday forenoon an Inquest was held at the sign of the Sir IVilliam of Walworth public-house, in the' Walworth-road, before R. CARTER, lisp., on the body of Jo. seph Godfrey, who died in consequence oetaking a quantity of vitriolic acid. Since the decease of the unfortunate man, his wife has gone raving mad, and is now confined in a strait waist.. coat, in consequence of the shock she received on seeing him ex. pire. Previous to the evidence being taken, the jury retired for the purpose of viewing the body, which presented a shocking spectacle, the mouth, tongue, and lips of the deceased being burnt in a frightful manner by the poison, the greater part of which forced its way through the lower part of the abdomen.—. On the return of the jury, the folloWing evidence was taken : Mrs. Richardson deposed, that the deceased worked latterly in her husband's employment. On Thursday morning last, hit wife, who is now insane, informed witness that her husband was excessively ill, and complained of violent pains in the bead. Witness at first attributed his illness to lasy and indolent habits. Ilowever,.. she accompanied the wife to see the deceased, whom sh e round in bed extremely un well.
